Fabrizio Romano has reported fresh comments from Pep Guardiola regarding the development of Vitor Reis following his move to Girona FC.
Speaking about the young defender, Guardiola admitted that Reis has exceeded expectations during his time in Spain. The Manchester City manager described the player’s performances as “unbelievable” based on feedback he eceived from Girona.
Guardiola also explained the reasoning behind the move. He pointed to the player’s age and limited opportunities at Manchester City as key factors. According to him, Reis needed regular game time to grow, something that was not guaranteed in a competitive City squad.
The City boss highlighted that the decision was made with long-term development in mind. He stressed that moving to Girona has helped Reis mature as a player. The defender has gained valuable minutes and improved his overall game since the switch.
This move is part of a broader strategy often used by top clubs. Young talents are sent to partner or affiliated teams where they can play consistently. In Reis’ case, the plan appears to be working effectively.
Guardiola’s comments suggest satisfaction with the progress. He believes the player has taken full advantage of the opportunity and delivered strong performances.
